Career Services aids students in developing, evaluating, and implementing career and life planning. These services assist students through a process of self-assessment to clarify personal goals, values, and interests and to teach decision-making skills. Students learn how to obtain occupational information, to explore the full range of employment opportunities or graduate study, and to present themselves effectively as candidates for employment.
The programs of career development include individual and group sessions, the use of career testing instruments, workshops, and a Career Resources Library which contains a collection of occupational and job market information and information about graduate school programs.
Other services include postings of employer information including interviews and vacancy listings and a credentials service to assist senior students and graduates in processing employment files.
Testing services are coordinated by the Director of Career Services. Most paper-based major examinations required for admittance into graduate school and selected professional certification examinations are administered on campus. Computer-based versions are offered at the Sylvan Learning Center.
CLEP, a program designed to enable traditional and non-traditional students to earn college credit by examination, is also administered. Applications and information about most national exam programs are available in the Career Services Office
